#carer — Public Fediverse posts

Was at #dentist again today for hygenist appointment, whilst waiting was sat near to a senior lady (about 75) who was unsteady on her feet.

One member of staff walked over, asked her "have you brought anyone with you?", briefly looked over at me and then sheepishly realised mistake she had made (I was just there as a patient myself!)

TBH I could understand it, minutes afterwards one of my own work colleagues appeared in the waiting room, assisting a lady of similar age (who used a wheelchair) - I wasn't even too bothered about non-malicious racial profiling but more about security aspects (a #carer should not normally be in his street clothes with 0 uniform and ID!)
